    Default I'm in!

    Alright friends, I just purchased my new Dove 6/8 Best Quality straight and a 3" Latigo Strop from SRD. I'll be giving my first straight shave a shot as soon as it arrives. I'll let you all know how it goes. Up til now I've been shaving with a DE getting good results. Now it's time to jump in with both feet. Make no mistake, I will be heeding to all your advice. Thanks for all!

    Bravo Mike. 'Good gear. You already know how to make lather, so that's not an issue. Read up on stropping.

    Very cool--I've got a 5/8's Dovo Best and a 3" latigo from SRD and both have served me well. Take it easy and enjoy. GL too.
